=================================================

This is another great song off the new album, and it's really easy.
The guitar doesnt come in until after the first chorus. If you're like
me, you like to play even when the guitar isn't on, so chords are included
for the first part without guitar.

Dm (xx0231) Bb (x13331) F (133211) C (x32010) C#?(x4x222)
Beginning is played Dm Bb F C and the same rhythm goes along for the whole song
 Dm                  Bb
Come up to meet you, Tell you I'm sorry
 F                 C
You don't know how lovely you are
Dm                  Bb
I had to find you, tell you I need you
F                  C
Tell you I'll set you apart
Dm                  Bb
Tell me you secrets, and ask me your questions
F                   C
Oh lets go back to the stars
Dm                  Bb
Running circles, common tales
F                    C
Heads on a science apart

(Chorus)
Bb
Nobody said it was easy
F
It's such a shame for us to part
Bb
Nobody said it was easy
F
No one ever said it would be this hard
C--Guitar actually comes here, and strums the C slowly.
Oh take me back to the stars.

C#? Bb F F
Dm Bb F C
(Verse 2)
Dm                   Bb
I was just guessing, at numbers and figures
F           C
Pulling puzzles apart
Dm                    Bb
Questions of science, science and progress
F                 C
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Dm                    Bb
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
F                  C
I want to rush to the stars
Dm                     Bb
Running in circles, chasing tales
F              C
Coming back as we are

(Chorus 2)
Bb
Nobody said it was easy
F
It's such a shame for us to part
Bb
Nobody said it was easy
F
No one ever said it would be so hard
C
I'm going back to the stars

C#? Bb F F
C Bb F C (repeat as necessary)
End on F

That's all, peace.
